Chapters Toolkit

Though being a Sigma Xi chapter leader is extraordinarily fulfilling, it can also be challenging in our increasingly busy world.  The goal of the updated toolkit is to offer support and guidance to those of you in chapter leadership roles.  The staff at Sigma Xi strives to make your job as easy and enjoyable as possible.  Whatever your goals, whatever your chapter status, we on the staff are here to help you, so we encourage you to contact us any time. 

Good Standing of Chapters

Chapters in Good Standing are eligible for local support payments from Sigma Xi, which can be used to fund chapter programs and events.  

Annual Reporting

Each year, both the Chapter Annual and Treasurer's reports go live on or around July 1. Chapters are requested to submit their reports on or before August 15 if they would like to be nominated for a chapter award. Annual reports offer a snap shot of each chapter and are used to evaluate the health of a chapter in terms of membership, good standing status, activities...etc.

Chapter Governance

The Chapter Governance page contains information on chapter organization, chapter bylaws, and responsibilities of chapter officers.
